Simon's Sadly Appropriate Word of the Day

peasantvision

Television channels you get without a cable or satellite TV subscription.

I can't afford digital cable, but I still get some good shows with the rabbit ears on peasantvision.

Which leads to another important definition:

HB Oh no

The slightly panicked look you get on your face when everybody is saying "hey did you catch that show last night on HBO?" And you are going to have to fake it because you are stuck with peasantvision.

Baby Genius.

Oh no.

Do NOT tell my mom about this two-year-old.

It might make her think I've haven't been doing my homework

I call this publicity

Ok, so this girl got her picture taken, and then her camp counselor uploaded it to Flickr.

And somehow she ended up on a bus billboard in Australia.

Now, her parents are suing the company because she is "humiliated that people can google her."

Huh?

I'd be humiliated if people couldn't google me.

Wish I thought of this one...

Why doesn't my mom ever go out of town?

YOUR FIFTEEN MINUTES

Simon is a cool crafty kid trying to establish his image in the cliqued-up world of Metropolitan High School. He’s got a million-dollar wardrobe on a bargain-basement budget, and he’s moving up--he’s just been nominated for best dressed prep. But Simon knows that appearance is everything, so when an embarrassing secret vidblog goes viral, Metropolitan’s favorite prep hottie knows his reputation is cracking. Meanwhile, his alter-ego, uberlonelyguy16, has an emo following that’s taking on national dimensions.
